tendant Gsieties at the
Capital.
State Dinners and State Diners
The Cabinet-A Strong Story
of William ID. Kelley.


Correspondence The autumn sea-
SON has entered the weeks of Its wan
ing. Soft breezes, sunny skies, and
days nearly as warm as in Palermo
have been its accompaniment. The
birds are still futtering in the multi
tudinous parks as they futter around
the gardens of southern town. The
afternoons are bright with the glitter
of wheels, carrying noiselessly over the
asphalt pavements and through the
mellow air, well-dressed men and VIC
men in tan colored gloves and varied
colored hats, on all sorts of political
ventures. Pennsylvania avenue =
the Champs Elysees of Americas
the great artery through which rolls
the life of American gayety. On
the broad pavements of the avenue al
nations meet and mingIe. This is a
Chinese with hair In a genuine pig
tail twist, and this is a Turk with
trousers enough for seven. Here, all
EnglishmaD built up solid from the
foundation, buttressed with strength
the apotheosization of roast beef and
plum pudding; there Frenchman 50
thin he fails to cast shadow. There
German, so broad that it requires
calculation half a block away to steer
clear of his course.
TWO WORLDS MOBILES.
From the treasury to the capitol, on
one of the widest stress in the world,
you can see vehicles of every descrip-
ton flowing hither and thither. There
they go ! milionaires and porters, GEN.
ators and humble artisans, sight-seers
from every cline. Nobility of the
old world mingIing with the nobility
of the new. Tramp and rumble and
clstter. Two wheels, four wheels. one
sorrel, two sorrels bicycles and tri-
cycles fast horses, mouth by twist
ed bit drawn tight into the chest, and
slow horses, head hung out long dis
lance from the body, the feet too lazy
to keep up. Crack /! crack go
hundred whips in the strong grasp Of
the characters, warning foOt-passen-
gers to clear the way. Cling cling /!
goes the cycle-bell of gay official or
a Belva lockwood as they outrun the
feetest conveyance. Cab-drivers OF
glazed hat, taking passengers at 80
cents an hour, and coachmen with
rosetted hat and lavender breeches,
their coat tails flung over the back Of
the high seat-a very constellation OF
brass buttons. Let US follow one of
these consultations and see where
rolls nobility in all its grandeur.
FAIR LADIES AND GALLANT MEN.
The mansion of the Secretary OF
War, or that of ex-Minister Foster, IL
the centre of attraction. The invita-
tons have named half-past 8 as the
hour, and from that time till half-pasz
10 arrivals of brilliant equipages are
constant. Representative people from
all over the country are PRESENT
Diplomatic and militia, legal and lay
circles, mingle and converse. Gaily-
attired society bellies, with necks of
alabaster, pour tea in the library al.
jacent to the supper room. The Chi
nese Minister, whose caP-band is re-
splendent above his forehead, with a
marvellous pale ruby eneircled with
diamonds, a stone whose only mate
known now sparkles in the imperial
crown of Russia, sits by the tea-table
long time, praising the beverage
with the air of a eonnoisseur. Lord
and Lady Herschel stand near the
host and hostess. His lordship was
Lord High Chancellor of Great
Britain In the Gladstone Cabinet, and
is near relation Of the late Sir Will
liam Herschel, the astronomer. Lady
Herschel wears silver and blue bro
cade, with train of plain turquoise
blue. Diamond stars glitter in her
brown hair. She is speaking with en-.
thusiasm of the vast tract of country
she has seen between here and Cali
fornia. Chief Justice Waite escorts
her to the supper-table, while other
justices are being fed by gay coquettes'
of the Capital. Cabinet members an6
senators with their wives and daugh..
tiers exchange greetings and compli-
ments as they sip the many colored
wines, and thus the bud of the annual
gayeties is opening in our National
Capital.
THE PRESIDENT AT HOME.
Both the president and Mrs. Cleve-
land were well and heartily glad to
be once more at home in the White
House, though as heartily glad that
they made their extended trip. Du-
ring their three weeks journey they
had travelled $500 miles, passed
